Riggs Eckelberry Wraps Up Security Company's Expansion Project
Glendale, CA – November 25, 2003 - Veteran technologist Riggs Eckelberry
has completed a major project of market development for the US branch of
Spanish anti-virus software company Panda Software. In his eight months as
general manager, he completed several key projects for the future expansion
of Panda US.
"Riggs Eckelberry developed excellent expansion programs and systems which
will help us lead the way next year. We thank him for his brilliant ideas
and hard work," said Alan Wallace vice president of corporate
communications for Panda Software US.
Among the marketing team's successful programs was The Panda Challenge,
which gave the company an opportunity to demonstrate to IT managers that
they were inadequately protected by their existing security vendors. This
paid off when many corporate customers were hard-hit during the virus
attacks of late August.
"I'm very excited about Panda Software's prospects for 2004," said
Eckelberry. "The company is positioned as a technology winner and has
developed a US commercialization platform which will enable it to move into
the top tier of security vendors over the next twelve to eighteen months.
I'm proud of what this team has achieved and they have my full support for
the future."
Mr. Eckelberry will return to managing TechTransform, his technology
consultancy network. More case studies and articles are available at

style with warm appeal to target audiences.
